Feb 5, 2009: The day when democracy lost in Perak

When the much-respected Sultan of Perak, who recently celebrated the silver jubilee of his reign, refuses to consent to dissolution of the state assembly to break the political crisis in the silver state, the spirit of democracy is lost in Perak.

The aspiration of rakyat of Perak to live under the governance of a fresh administration, with less corruption, more transparency, improved efficiency as being conveyed through the March 8, 2008 GE results was defeated by unethical tactics of BN and some selfish politicians, who put personal interests above that of the rakyat who elected them.

Feb 5, 2009 - I shall remember this date as the day when democracy is lost in Perak, and the first time I feel ashamed to call myself a Perakian.
